Which risk increases when partially-coherent laser beams are multiplexed?

💡 Explanation

Speckle contrast increases due to constructive and destructive interference patterns from residual path length differences; the **mutual coherence function** is degraded, therefore speckle becomes prominent, rather than even intensity and avoiding that uneven laser effect.
